God Bless you in 2012


May 2012 be a positive year for you all with joy to share with all around you, peace to calm stormy waters, love which deepens and matures, strength to get through the inevitable hard days, and the right friends at the right time to support you. God bless each and every one of you.




The Girard Family missed out on the 'Good Health' side of the New Year, with all of us ill - some respiratory infection. 



We are still in the world record breaking longest house move of all time!! Unfortunately, there is still delay in signing the final sale papers, but we are planning to move the big objects 21st January, leaving us time to clean the current appartment. I cancelled all my appointments and meetings for most of December, and have done the same for all of January in order to get this house move completed and to set up the new manse for our family and our 2 ministries. Kitchen won't be in until near the end of February, but I'm so looking forward to inviting people again and building up the hospitality ministry. These are very material things, but our aim is to enhance our ministries and to build up important relationships.


A heart for france

About Us

God's ways are mysterious, but I must say that since my commitment to follow Jesus Christ in 1985 life with God has been one big adventure. While teaching in a small town in Western Victoria in Australia I felt called to look into mission, to understand what it meant and if it was still relevant on the 20th Century. In 1989/90 I went to Niamey, the capital of Niger in French West Africa, for a Short Term Service as a French teacher at Sahel Academy, a school for missionary kids. This was a life changing experience, because I realized two things: I really wanted to study the Bible full time and I needed to improve my French! Solution: do a 3 year Theology Diploma in an Evangelical French College in the Paris region. The Lord led the way and not only did I realize how much Christian workers were needed in France but the Lord organized for me to stay in France permanently - yes! I met my French husband Pascal, at Bible College. Together we have three wonderful children. Pascal is now pastor in a French Evangelical Church Union and I am a supported missionary working alongside him.

What are we doing?

My ACE ministry consists of; 

A=Accompanying (counselling, discipline),

C=Coordinating (particularly the Vitality Pathway, revitalizing
churches), and 

E=Evangelism to bring more into the Kingdom.

My ministry is recognized by the Union of Free Evangelical Churches in France with whom my husband serves as pastor. I coordinate a national team seeking to create healthy, missional churches. Ministry involves equipping the local church to reach its community by: discipline, mentoring, counselling and training others; organizing events and coordinating children and youth ministries and particularly reaching out to women.

Where are we?:
